As Tiffany Meyers observes in her overview of the 100 winners, one can’t peg 2009 as the year of any specific color or typographic convention. But the winning projects are reflective of today’s increasingly diverse design discipline. In fact, one has to wonder if there is any longer such a thing as a design discipline—in light of today’s fast-changing and even amorphous practice, the word discipline seems a little out of place.

DESIGN 100: Posters (cont'd)

66 THE SMALL STAKES
Jason Munn has come a long way from designing posters pro bono for local bands. But that sensibility remains in his work, which has the sort of glow to it usually found in love-labors.

Munn has a large following for his screen-printed band posters, and record art had a big influence on him as a kid. “That and skateboard graphics were my introduction to art and design,” he says. Munn has a way of finding the elements he needs in the music itself and getting it down in rich, tactile graphics. These posters are works of art. “The process could consist of anything really,” he says, “illustration, collage, photography or just type.”

Munn’s elegant Shins poster was done through the Richard Goodall Gallery in England. “They work with venues and management in the U.K. to have posters made for shows,” he says. As far as Munn is concerned, all that matters is that the image he creates works as a good introduction to or representation of the featured band. “I don’t think there is any one way to go about that,” he says. by Romy Ashby
